And my answer to you is you are overrating the deep ball. If you complain about Smith not throwing it down the field, you should complain about BRADY NOT THROWING THE DEEP BALL DURING A HISTORIC 5000+ YARD PASSING SEASON.

I'm not saying Smith is the best QB in the world and you can dislike but dislike him for the right reasons instead of manufacturing ones that don't make sense. Like putting up a chart showing him as #28 on long pass attempts which also shows Tebow at #1.

C'mon.

In Brady's case, he gets a pass.

Because um...5,000 ****ing yards.

Alex can't do that.

The Tebow thing is a bit deceptive, BTW. He passed so infrequently that of course his percentage of deep attempts was higher.

Other quarterbacks don't really matter, though. When you are Alex...and you don't throw TDs and you don't throw for a lot of yards and you suck on third down, too....not pushing the ball, and in fact pushing it down the field less than anyone ****ing else...IS BAD.

8-0 and yet the same broken record eh Clay?

Not even to mention, well I guess I am mentioning that it took exactly 8 weeks for Alex Smith and his no deep ball throwing self to beat your weak prediction of 7 wins.

Here you go, just beating the drum.

And you claim I HIJACK threads. You are a broken ****ing record for threads.

Copy paste, rinse repeat.

You would save yourself a shit load of time.

Only 4 the quarterbacks in the history of the league could.

1 of them attempted long passes with the same frequency as Alex Smith.

I know it's taking you a while but let that sink in so you can realize deep bomb attempts don't mean anything when it comes to wins.

So it's back to the drawing board for you for ways to criticize Smith.

This year the leaders in deep completions are leading the best teams.

Ben Roethilsberger does not lead one of the NFL's best teams.
Geno Smith does not lead one of the NFL's best teams
Jay Cutler does not lead one of the NFL's best teams.
Philip Rivers does not lead one of the NFL's best teams.
Matthew Stafford does not lead one of the Nfl's best teams.

Basically 6/11 leaders with deep completions are on the best teams. 4/11 are on mediocre ones. 1/11 is one of the league's worst.

So, no, the leaders in deep completions are not leading the best teams.

6 of the top 8 teams have passers among the leaders in deep completions.

Keep spinning.

Peyton - 7-1
Dalton - 6-2
Rodgers - 5-2
Wilson - 7-1
Brees - 6-1
Kaepernick - 6-2

Those are the teams with the best records this year.

Coincidence that all those guys are among the leaders in deep passing?

Dumbass.

OMGzzz.. ****ing right! This is seriously like watching a mentally ill person pacing up and down the hallway and muttering gibberish to himself.

You have the signature space, Clay... just put "Alex sucks, can't throw deep" in there, and you will never need to post again.

Just a note - while so many are bantering for this deep ball gunslinger QB, you saw Dalton last night, who was red hot this month (AFC OPotM) and he again proved that guys like him can win AND lose your team games. Say what you will but Alex has yet to lose us a game. He didn't in SF either. However, he did win one for them in January...

Flacco won 4 last year. Next!

1 of the top 1 teams does not
